i would fire Jerry Gray in the offseason, the DB position has gone nothing but down in every category.

I'd put Rocky in and have him learn also, maybe experiment with a 3-4 with Carter as an LB, maybe even Arch. who knows, anything.

my point is, and has always been, that most of these problems can't be fixed now. at least the QB position can.

If at best you can say Mark swallows after he sucks. I had an Ex-wife thatdid the same.

The defense was bad, but Brunell gave us absolutely NO chance to win. He led us to 3 points and gave the Eagles 7 with his terrible INT for a touchdown. Gibbs' decision to start Brunell this season is the No. 1 reason we're moving backward and will finish with a losing record.

Actually, Brunell gave us -4 points (FG-INT=-4).

True. He hurt us more than helped. Sadly, the prettiest pass of the day came from ARE, even though it was knocked away.

I said this a couple weeks ago, but I will say it again. Brunell doesn't give us the best chance to win now. He isn't good. He stares down one receiver the entire play, then he either throws it to them or throws it away. He is basically a rookie out there. I get excited when he actually throws down the middle, steps up in the pocket, looks off a defender, pump fakes, or throws farther than 10 yards. You shouldn't have to worry about those things with a 15 year veteran. He just isn't a good quarterback anymore. His career is over.

Campbell needs to be put in now. That stuff I just said doesn't even really matter anymore because we have no chance at making the playoffs anyway unless we somehow win 7 in a row. There is absolutely no reason at all to leave Brunell in. Gibbs is an idiot if he does.

edit: If Brunell gave us the best chance to win, we wouldn't be 3-6. That is what we were when Gibbs benched him in '04. He didn't give us the best chance then, and he doesn't now either.

It will be an interesting week around Redskins Park. I hope Gibbs doesn't praise Brunell's performance again because it would be totally hollow. Brunell played a poor ball today, bottom line. Sadly enough, if we continue to play like we have been and finish 6-10 or 5-11, Gibbs Act 2 could have a similar winning (losing) percentage as Spurrier.

He only looks at Moss. It is really bad, if you look at Brunell, he only looks at MOss, and throws it to him, even in triple coverage.

I made a post earlier this week, saying I dont want Moss to play, bc this way it forces him to mix it up. If Moss is in, he only looks at him, therefore increasing our chance of losing.

Looks like I was right.

I am beyond pissed at our team, we dont even have a fucking pulse.

PLAYOFFS? he sucks. no future. dead skill set. he is horrible. We suck as a team.

Isn't time for your to change your name?

Did anyone see the brunell press conference after the game? It looked like he was about to cry.

I hope that means, he knows he lost his job.

Something we can actually agree on.

What about the pass to BL?

His playcalling is the way it is because he knows Brunell cannot throw the ball acurately downfield on a consistent basis. He therefore stays with what he believes Brunell can do, which is limited. Much different than the offense we saw his team run in KC.

I totally agree. Remember how Saunders was brought in because he was going to establish a vertical attack? Saunders said he was committed to establishing the deep threat, we got the receivers to make it happen, but Brunell can't/won't throw deep (save the very rare attempt).
